Matthew’s younger brother, musician Jake Amster, joins us on the show today. We tackle some hard-hitting questions, for example: Who in the band gets the most tail? Can you only make bass face when you are actually playing the bass? What dysfunctional lessons did older brother Matthew teach Jake at an impressionable young age? Finally, we figure out what the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department and Jake’s band could ever have in common.

In today’s episode, we get to the bottom of canine racism, petition the internets to license folks before they hit the “reply all” button, and determine that showing affection to a pet goldfish is just weird. All of these nationally relevant, scintillating topics of the day, and more!

What if you could create a concept so ahead of its time that it takes 25 years for people to appreciate it? Take the Prancercise™ videos, for example: back in 1989, people couldn’t possibly fathom the pure video gold that is captured in those 5 minutes and 1 second. We also discuss Hearing, or the lack thereof, and Procrastination.

In today’s episode Matthew puts his detective cap on and tries to figure out why Satan has infiltrated Becky’s toilet, which leads (naturally) to a discussion on toilets in space, Dick’s burgers, and loading dishwashers like a moron.

Becky’s jazz trumpeter and front man brother Jesse slums it with us today while on tour with the Gordon Webster Sextet. We discuss how Becky ripped off his big toenail in their childhood after he wouldn’t let her play Risk. Making it his fault.

Becky’s poodle Marc Schermerhorn joins us today to discuss his trip to Chengdu, and why “tartlets with pancetta and creme fraiche with madeira-soaked cherries” is the gayest sounding appetizer ever. Later we dish about dinner parties gone awry and our worst jobs ever. Also, Matthew wants you to know that Becky came up with the episode title.

Dr. Bryn Gribben, professor of 19th Century British Literature at Seattle University, joins us today for a spirited discussion of unicorns, frocks, unseemly grooming habits (including Matthew’s magical ear hair!) and what the hell the word coochiomancy could possible mean.
